GO0D.BY, MIR. GILMAN.

The people of Bellevue do not seem
to take enthusiastically TO John Gil
mans proposition to build railway
to the Gold Belt from Picabo, and to
Law out a town on Hon. John Hailey's
ranch, Is miles south of HALEY. And
the GOODNESS with which they treat
him shows that their heads are level.
Firstly, because a railway to the Gold
Belt must be built up Croy gulch in
order to be of any practical benefit to
the mines, as the only adequate water
power and desirable millsites in the
country are to be had at or near
HALEY. Secondly, because it would
cost three times as much to reach The
Gold Belt mines by rail from Picabo
as it will from HALEY. And, thirdly,
because there are plenty Of towns in
this region already to transact the
business required-which is all that
towns are good for.
We have watched Mr.. Gilman's
doings here for FIVE or six years, and
assisted him in various ways, in the
hope that he would do something of
real benefit to the country; but we
begin to fear that he is a good deal of
a humbug. Ever since he first came
here he has been promising railroad
up Croy gulch, and seeking assistance
to build it; every time that he has left
for the East he has promised to do
something wonderful while away; and
every time that he has returned he has
averred himself ready to build the
railroad. Yet we seem to be nc
nearer getting it now-as far as Mr.
Gilman is concerned-than we were
five years ago. Instead of going tt
work and building tho road, he still
continues making impossible PROPOSE
tons which seem to be only made te
be withdrawn if there is any DANCE,
of their being accepted.
Heretofore, he only asked for the
right-of- Then he wanted $25,.
900 cash in addition. This was re.
duoed to $4,000, then to $4,000
Now, the amount is $4,000 when the
road shall be completed to Gilman
$4,000 additional when it shall reach
the Gold Belt; the right of-way; anc
"all the water power and mill anC
smelter sites that I want"
Having stood by Mr.. Gilman as W,
have, we feel compelled to state tina
we have lost confidence in him, an,
that we do not believe that he intend
to build the road unless the people o
Haley pay for the entire cost o
building it, and relinquish to him
without adequate consideration, al
right, title and interest in the prop
erty.
We believe, further, that it will b.
far better for HALEY and for the Coll
Belt to have the road built, operated
and owned by one of the companie
operating there, as in that case tn
mines would be served at cost or at
small advance above cost.
We also believe that Mr.. Gilman
cannot build the road, and we hop
that, even if he Can, he will not do sc
Good-by, Mr.. Gilman.

Unsalted Butter.

To accommodate those who live out
of the reach of the cream wagons, the
propFietors of the Crystal Spring
Creamery have decided to buy fresh
unsalted butter, and will pay Is to Is
cents per pound for same if delivered
at the creamery the day it is churned.
In order TO bring the outside prices
the following directions must be
closely adhered to:
/. Use a box or barrel churn.
2. Allow the cream to become slight
ly sour before churning but not thick
or old.
8. Always use a thermometer, and
see that the cream is right before
beginning TO churn; go is usually
about right, but as thermometers vary
and differnt cream needs different
treatment it may be necessary 10
churn at little lower or a little
higher temperature. If the butter
comes in less than 40 minutes the
cream is too warm, and il it takes
much over an hour the cream is too
cold.
!. Stop churning as soon as the but
ter is the size of small shot.
S. Draw the buttermilk off through
a strainer that none of the butter may
be lost.
G. Fill the churn two-thirds full of
cold water and then revolve it a few
times; draw this off aud repeat the
operation until the water comes off
clear.
7. Allow the butter to drain little
while after the last rinsing, work it
carefully just enough TO get most of
the water out, and keep closely COW
cred until it is delivered.

Tally one for prohibition. The whis-
key business in Iowa that was once a
stylish citizen, is now a ragged tramp.
The first unmistakable sign of decay
is upon it, Wisconsin Prohibitionist.
"Let prohibition succeed, and how
much brewery property would be des-
troyed, how many houses would be
emptied of tenants. how many men
would be thrown out of employment
and how many families rendered pau
pers! How many farmers sons would
have to be called back to the country
to work on their fathers farm, and
how many farmers daughters obliged
to quit schools, seminaries and colleges
of art and music to go home and spin
and weave as their grandmothers did
before them!"- President Ohio Sa-
loonkeepers Protective Agency.
In reply to the first query, we would
ask how many splendid tubercles are
destroyed when consumption is cured!
To the second, about one--ten-thous-
andth as many paupers and vacant
houses as result in the liquor traffic.
AS for the farmers sons may they
return to their fathers house by the
hundreds of thousands. One of the
most fatal evils Of our country is the
city's constant consumption of healthy
country blood and the pollution of good
country morals. Aud rs to the farm

High License Regulates.

A business man of Madison in con-
versation with one of the oldest saloon.
keepers of this city last week, said:
"Why don't you saloOn-keepers keep
the laws! You are only cutting off
your own heads by the action. This
prohibition movement never would
have been as strong as it is, If you
fellows had been half way respectable
about your business. Now you fellows
keep your doors right open on Sundays
and run in all the boys you can get. :"
Yes, that's so" said the saloon
keeper but they charge us so much
for our license that we have to do ev-
erything we can in order to live. tell
you we have to do it,
We have the names of the men be.
tween whom this conversation passed.
1t was not said for publication, nor
with any thought as to it's effect on
the public. For this reason it may be
considered good indication of the
regulating influence of high license

"That Kansas Daclina. y

Ed. OF The HERALD:-Hour editorial
recently based Oh the letter of Gov
ernor Martin, of Kansas, is not up to
your ordinarily high standard of fair
ness, and my fayorite paper, the Her
aid, shall not ''let down" in that regard
without. at least, mild protest from
me. 1t is well known fact, that ever
since the passage of the prohibitory
law in kansas, the papers all over the
country have teemed with dispatches
and windy communications respecting
the "decline of business" and the
failure of the law, and even the Her
aid columns have not been innocent OF
such Information" all emanating from
the same source which caused the pub
LEGATION of the Martin letter. While
these dispatches and letters found
ready admission to all secular papers
any refutatiOn of them by officers and
citizens on the ground found ready adj
mission to the waste basket. Even the
noted dispatch giving the decay of At
Gibson got into columns where Martin s
official letter will never be seen, all of
which goes to prove that Governor
Martin is correct when he mentions
the inspiring source of these dispatch
es. Abating any argument as to the
failure or efficiency of the Kansas pro.
hibitory law, it can be set down as the
very bed rock of truth that no calamity
has reached that commonwealth in the
reduction of material interests and
general prosperity, the figures showing
nearly a doubling of taxable values,
of schools, churches, miles of railroad
and newspapers and population.
The only loss-in numbers in any
direction-is in the reduced number of
'.gin mills" little or no demand for
police in cities, and grand reduction
of vice. pauperism and crime.
While il may have been five or six
years before the law was generally
enforced you err in saying that "liq-
uor was as free in Kansas as anywhere
else" during that period. The gradual
process of reduction" was at work all
that time. and Kansas City houses
called their agents out of Kansas al
most for the first year, the enforce
ment of the law and the retiring of
agents working in about the same
ratio. No one will accuse Governor
Martin of liability to gush over the
prohibitory question; but he has a
right to be proud of the name and fame
of his matches commonwealth. And
SO far as regards the error of his de-
auctions. regard them AS more legit-
innate than yours, especially when you
locate the most rapid development in
the frontier counties, where the saloon
and shotgun are most dominant. Such
| deductions are wrong in the face OF
the fact that from these very counties
the saloon and COW boy are rushing ont
| before a solid column of educated,
industrious. moral population coming
in such as no other state in the Union
| ever received at any time.-fP.
